Panama's health ministry has agreed to spend $1.9 million next month in an initial payment for COVID-19 vaccines through the World Health Organization's COVAX vaccine program, officials said on Monday.

Health vice-minister Ivette Berrio said Panama's government hoped to make 1.3 million shots available through COVAX, about a fifth of the Central American nations overall vaccine requirement.
